Based on 134 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row

last 6Q

For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added NKTX than sold it. That's a consistent pattern of professional buying — not a one-time trade. When institutions keep buying quarter after quarter, it usually means they see a multi-year opportunity, not just a short-term momentum flip.

🏔️

At the ownership peak (100% of max)

100% of all-time peak

134 hedge funds hold NKTX right now — the highest count in 3.0 years. When ownership is this concentrated, any bad news can trigger a chain reaction: one big fund sells, others follow. This is a classic 'crowded trade' — high popularity doesn't equal safety.

🚀

Fast accumulation — +31% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q

+32 new funds entered over the past year (+31% YoY). That's a rapid rush of institutional money. Fast accumulation often signals a major thesis — but it also means the stock could fall quickly if that thesis breaks.

🟡

Slight buying edge — 59% buying

79 buying54 selling

Last quarter: 79 funds bought or added vs 54 that reduced or exited. It's nearly a 50/50 split — some institutions are convinced, others are taking profits. This mixed picture is normal near price highs.

📈

More new buyers each quarter (+8 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter

■ 47% conviction (2yr+) ■ 31% medium ■ 22% new

💰

Value +37% but shares only +1% — price-driven

Value

+36%

+1%

Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +37%, but actual share count only changed +1%. The gap is explained by the stock's price rising — not new buying. Strong value growth with weak share growth means the rally is price momentum, not fresh institutional demand.

📈

Growing discovery — still being found

8 → 26 → 15 → 19 → 27 new funds/Q

New funds entering each quarter: 26 → 15 → 19 → 27. A growing number of institutions are discovering NKTX each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.

🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 61% veterans vs 24% newcomers

■ 61% veterans ■ 15% 1-2yr ■ 24% new

Entry-cohort mix of 137 holders: 84 (61%) are 2+ year veterans, 20 entered 1–2 years ago, and 33 (24%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

✅

Strong quality — 32% AUM from major funds

32% from top-100 AUM funds

39 of 134 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 32% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.

3.8

out of 10

Low Exit Risk

Exit risk score 3.8/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.

Methodology note: these Smart Money cards use consecutive 13F disclosure snapshots, not trade-by-trade execution data. "Buying", "selling", "new holders", and "trimmed" refer to quarter-over-quarter changes in reported holders, aggregate shares, or disclosed position values between filings. They are useful for ownership regime analysis and crowding, but they do not imply exact trade timing on the filing date.
